New Jersey Out-of-State, International Divorce & Military Divorce
Deciding to divorce your spouse is rarely easy. A divorce when a spouse lives outside of New Jersey, however, can be a bit more difficult. If you are a New Jersey resident but your spouse lives elsewhere, you may be able to obtain a divorce in New Jersey, even if your spouse is:
- Residing outside of New Jersey in the continental United States,
- Living abroad (internationally), or
- Serving in the United States military, either out of State or abroad.
